FFA60UA60DN

Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

The FFA60UA60DN is an array of diodes created using advanced, silicon-based semiconductor technology that can be used in a variety of electrical devices. The structure of this diode array is composed of six individual segmented rectifiers which are connected together in a parallel configuration. This allows the array to provide a predictable low-voltage, high-current output with a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 mA per segment. It is an efficient way of generating power and has applications in high-efficiency power converters, power supplies, motor drives, and more.

The FFA60UA60DN is a medium to high-power, low-loss device that is designed for fast switching and for use in DC-to-AC and AC-to-DC conversion. It is a six-segmented diode array that is well suited for use in applications in industrial, aerospace, and defense industries. The array has high-current carrying capabilities, is low-loss, and can be easily integrated into commercial products.

The FFA60UA60DN employs a unique "floating current source" concept in which the individual diodes in the array are connected in a manner that allows them to act as a voltage source and act as a low-impedance current source. This allows the array to offer an unlimited output current capability with an equally high level of efficiency, which makes it ideal for use in applications that require very high currents.

Application Field

The FFA60UA60DN is used in a variety of applications including, but not limited to, switched power supplies, regulated power supplies, DC-to-AC inverters, AC-to-DC rectifiers, audio processing systems, power control drivers, power converters, and automotive applications. The diode array can be used to control the on-off cycling of electrical circuits, or to regulate the current flow of subject circuits. It is also used in converters and inverters to regulate the amount of power that flows into or out of the device. The FFA60UA60DN is perfect for industrial, telecommunications, and aerospace applications where high-efficiency switching and fast response is needed to meet regulatory requirements.

Working Principle

The FFA60UA60DN works on the principle of PN-junction diodes which are formed in doped semiconductor material. The PN junction diode is designed such that when a sufficient voltage is applied to the two ends of the device, a schematic “valley” is created in which the current can flow. This behavior of the diode is known as rectification and the ability of PN junction diodes to rectify the current is what makes them so useful for many applications.

In the FFA60UA60DN, the individual segments are connected in parallel. This helps create an efficient structure that offers an unlimited output current capability while also providing a predictable low-voltage, high-current output. The parallel structure helps to reduce the temperature rise in the diodes while allowing them to produce the same amount of current as if they were connected in series. Furthermore, the FFA60UA60DN also features a low leakage current and reverse recovery time, which ensures fast switching performance and minimizes the current spikes produced by the device.
